Cancellation of Removal Hypo

2020 Exam, Question #6 (40 minutes)

(The Truman Show)

 

Truman Burbank was admitted to the U.S. as a B2 visitor in January 2014.  He adjusted his status in January 2018 and became an LPR.

 

Truman is alleged to have committed a deportable offense that is not an aggravated felony in March 2021.  He was convicted in April 2021 and received a 3-month sentence.

 

An NTA issued this month in August 2021, so Truman is now in removal proceedings.  Because of the long backlog in immigration court, his next court date is in July 2023.

 

Truman wants to apply for LPR Cancellation of Removal, i.e., Cancellation Part A only.  Is he eligible?
